A Great Marinade for Venison or Beef!

Yum....perfectly grilled venison steaks ready for cutting into.

I cook by the seat of my pants, so I can't give you exact measurements for this marinate.

My daughter and I combined our ideas for marinating steaks and came up with this one. These ingredients make a great marinate for venison or beef. The reason I like it for venison (which, by the way is the healthiest and most perfect red meat there is!) is because it takes the gamey taste away but leaves the meat still tasting like venison!

In the fall, we put up our own venison, Mr. Farmhouse is really good at this, was taught by someone who really knew what they were doing. It makes a big difference if your meat is butchered correctly; if it isn't you're not going to want to use it. Our venison is trimmed, cut and frozen on trays, then placed into bags and vacuum sealed to put back into the freezer...

You can clearly see why this is a very healthy red meat...

Get out a bowl and start dumping in the ingredients...

If you use it for roasts, it's excellent but you'll have to bake it in some beef broth or consomme' for the moisture needed in the pan. I've never actually roasted the beef or venison IN the marinate, instead I used consomme and basted often. This is my FAVORITE marinate for venison, hands down.

Right now I have about fifteen small steaks chillin' in this bath and they are going on the charcoal grill at dinner time. I will serve it with baked potatoes and some of the green beans from our garden and it's going to be better than any restaurant meal!

Welcome To the Farmhouse

Hi, I'm Joni!I'm a Michigan mom and am richin all the ways that count.... live a simple life in the country, have a family that I love and they love me, I go to bed at night on sheets that have been dried in the sun and kissed by the wind, eat food from my garden and find joy in simple pleasures and a few hobbies, can pet and love and take care of our animals, and perhaps most of all: I have learned in my life to enjoy hard work. I can't ask for anything more and am blessed.

Goin' Home

Goin' home--what a lovelier word

Ever--ever--could be heard,

Home to warmth and firelight,

Little rooms that shine at night,

Back to the comfort of old things,

A kitchen where a kettle sings.

Goin' home--with heart aglow.

Down the old road white with snow.

There a lighted window gleams.

Sending out its golden beams

Like a lighthouse tall and white,

Shining out against the night.

Goin' home--what lovelier word

Ever--ever--has been heard?
